Performances

Current Season

MFAH Gallery Concert

Saturday, Jan 7 2017, Jan. 7 & 8, 3:00pm and 4:30 pm at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

Furthering ROCO’s collaboration with MFAH, ROCO founder, Artistic Director, and Principal Oboist, Alecia Lawyer, and ROCO pianist, Makiko Hirata, present a program of French chamber works in connection with Degas: A New Vision at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The concerts, which take place in the main gallery of the Degas exhibit, connect music of Degas’ contemporaries to his works. Lawyer, who has both lived in France and served as an MFAH docent, is passionate about music of this time period. “Composers such as Émile Paladilhe and Stanislav Verroust wrote wonderful works that are not your ‘typical Impressionist music, and in that sense, they mirror Degas’ own resistance to being classified as an Impressionist.”
These brief concerts, which are free with museum admission, will be presented twice on Jan. 7 and twice on Jan. 8.
